PrivateChat (API Reference)

class PrivateChat<TContext extends Context = Context>

Properties

Property	Type	Description
id	number	Chat ID (same as the user's ID)
type	'private'	Chat type discriminant
user	User<TContext>	The user this chat belongs to
messages	MessagesLog<TContext>	Bot messages sent to this private chat

Notes

PrivateChat has no dispatch methods of its own — all updates are dispatched through the User actor. The messages log tracks bot sends targeted at this private chat.

PrivateChat is auto-created when you call chats.newUser(). Access it via:

const user = chats.newUser();
const dm = user.privateChat;
// or
const dm = chats.newPrivateChat(user); // returns the same instance
